So is it just me or did that description of True Hunters make it sound like they were effectively another breed of vampire?
-gain strength from what they slay
-via taking the blood
-immortal
-crazy
not in the slightest.
Hunters don't steal souls or anything like that.
its more like, well ever hear about how old cultures sometimes believed that if you killed a strong warrior you should eat his heart to get his strength?
its like that but it actually works.
now Vilebloods, those are your vampires, they're the ones who hunt people for no reason other than to take blood... and then offer it to their completely immortal queen.
Seriously anderson thought Alucard was bullshit, but he just has a huge number of extra lives, with the vilebloods it doesn't matter what you do to Annalise, she'll survive, take every inside and rip it out, she still lives, break every bone and cut her to pieces? her severed head will mock the futility of your efforts, through the destroyed jaw.
you could do this until the death of the universe and she would still exist in the ruin of her body and eventually heal.
All Hail the Undying Queen of Blood!
although giving her some help with that via the altar of despair speeds that up considerably.
